An Allegan man identified by Allegan Police as James Finch, of 204 Marshall St., was shot during a home invasion at 9:30 p.m. Sunday.

Allegan Police Officer Jay Gibson said Finch told police three armed black men forced their way into his home and, during a struggle, he was able to disarm one of them. But another of the trio fired, wounding Finch in the left thigh. Fish was taken to Bronson Hospital in Kalamazoo with damage to his femur.

“He’s just come out of surgery,” Gibson said.

Finch was growing marijuana in his home and it’s possible the men were trying to steal it, Gibson said. It remains unclear as to whether Finch’s growing operation was legal or not, but “more than one plant” was being cultivated in the home, Gibson said.

Finch has a “pretty good” video surveillance system on the home and police were able to get images of at least two of the suspects. Anyone with information on this incident is asked to call the Allegan Police Department at (269) 673-2115.
